Photo prise lors de la 4eme rencontre du groupe "La Longue Vue d'Alsace..." le 29 mai 2010 à Bâle en Suisse .
On a recent visit to Montreal with the wife, reservations made weeks ago one late evening celebrating our anniversary brought us to LeBremner in Old Port. Co owned & was chef'd by Chuck Hughe's but now in the hands of master chef Danny Smiles. The atmosphere, staff and mainly the dishes left a wonderful lasting impression on us. Now that we're back home I wanted to re-create a simple appetizer that we loved at LeBremner. Sour Dough bread, loads of whipped butter, radish with a good amount of salt/pepper. Just try it. (next time I'd cut the bread thicker haha)

Les Calanques are rocky coastal cliffs that rise from brilliant-turquose Mediterranean waters. They are found in the southern region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. The cliffs are often interrupted by small idyllic beaches that are often only reacheable by boat.
Le roman d'Antoine Compagnon, Le Deuil antérieur, porte également sur sa couverture une reproduction partielle du tableau de Cabanel. Dès ses premières pages il conjugue le nom, Venise et la mort. Le nom est fatal. Autant le savoir.
Villeneuve-les-Avignon
The medieval town of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon sits on the banks of the Rhône opposite Avignon. It is dominated by the imposing Fort Saint-André, which stands on top of a hill and has well-preserved 14th century ramparts. The charterhouse of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon shelters peaceful cloisters and an artistic centre.
Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and the city of the Popes: only the Rhône separates them, but history indisputably links them.
Around the year 1000, the Abbey of St André was built by the Benedictines on Mount Andaon. The town of Saint André then became a fortress and military outpost, under the influence of King Philippe Le Bel - eager to control access to the Rhône between Avignon and the Gard - after its attachment to the French crown.
Fortress town where life was good in the 14th century; built on hills and largely wooded; the commune of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon is then considered as a suburb of Avignon. At that time, just like Avignon, it saw its economic growth surge. Cardinals and other prelates built vast villas to stay there or delivered them out of sight, ensuring their comfort and security.
It should be noted that the Saint Bénezet bridge, from the 13th century, connected to the Tour Philippe le Bel, has modified and facilitated travel, and particularly commercial relations - even if before and after its destruction the crossing of the Rhône was done above all by small boat.
However, Villeneuve-lès-Avignon was abandoned in the 15th century, following the departure of the papal court.

La mostra «Le Metamorfosi» è ospitata fino al 20 dicembre a La casa di Barbara, appartamento e galleria d'arte.
Au Petit Andely (ex-Andeli le Jeune par opposition à Andeli-l'Ancien, aujourd'hui Grand Andely), l'une des "deux villes" des Andelys, située dans l'arrondi d'une grande boucle de la Seine, le grand centre d'intérêt est le Château-Gaillard, édifié en 1197 par Richard Coeur de Lion et dernier gardien du duché normand (un vrai Gibraltar, disent les Anglais).
Perché à 100 m au dessus du méandre et construit en trois ans, il est incrusté dans un piton crayeux, avec à l'avant un bastion triangulaire, le Châtelet, renforcé de trois grosses tours et de deux petites. Les murailles du fort principal protègent un donjon, haut de quatre étages et entouré d'une seconde enceinte.
En 1199, cinq ans avant que Philippe Auguste ne prenne d'assaut sa forteresse, le roi Richard qui de 1189 à 1199 fut roi d'Angleterre sous le nom de Richard 1er, mais aussi duc de Normandie, duc d'Aquitaine, comte de Poitiers, comte du Maine et comte d'Anjou est mortellement blessé près de Châlus en Limousin.
Son corps est enterré à Fontevraud (près de Saumur) à côté de celui de son père Henri II Plantagenêt, qui en fit une abbaye royale et la nécropole de sa dynastie, et de sa mère Aliénor d'Aquitaine, reine de France puis d'Angeleterre. Son cœur repose dans la cathédrale de Rouen et ses entrailles en l'église (ruinée) du château de Châlus Chabrol.
Château-Gaillard est ainsi devenu la résidence des rois de France et, à partir de 1314, une prison pour deux reines, Blanche et Marguerite de Bourgogne, celle-ci exécutée en 1315 sur l'ordre de son époux, le roi Louis X (dit le Hutin). Celle-là, répudiée en 1322 par le roi Charles IV, finira ses jours dans l'abbaye de Maubuisson (cf. JM Tard).
